Chapter six hundred and thirty eight ten years
Luo Lie had a gloomy face and shouted: "Whether you can be safe, it depends on your actions."
Arnold shook his head and sighed, and turned to the two drug enforcement officers in front of Conley, ordering: "Let him go and send him out of court!"
On the trial table, Cao Bin sighed lightly and slowly closed his eyes.
Conley Ballmer was sent out of the court by two police officers from the Drug Enforcement Administration. Arnold turned his eyes to Luo Lie behind the judge, and said in a voice with a clear reproachful tone: "Now, can you let go of the judge? Or, I will replace the judge and be the hostage in your hands."
Luo Lie understood the implication of Arnold's words. At this moment, if Arnold was the hostage, he could cooperate with Luo Lie to follow Conley and escape from the court. Although he would eventually be charged with absconding fear of crime and would be wanted nationwide, he would be exempted from the tragic ending of being sent to the gallows.
"You don't need to teach me how to do it. I said, I don't want to hurt the judge. I just want my friends to be free again." Seeing Conley being sent out smoothly, Luo Lie relaxed a little, but this was just the first step. Leaving the court does not mean that you can have a smooth journey after you go. "But, if you continue to follow Conley in secret, I still can't let the judge go."
Arnold immediately said to the head of the court bailiff: "Conley Ballmer has been handed over to the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. I shall be fully responsible for what to do. Now I ask that in order to ensure the safety of the judge's life, please order to waive any law enforcement actions against Conley Ballmer."
In other words, Arnold asked the local police in Kingsoft to watch Conley escape without taking any action such as blocking and chasing. This requirement is obviously a bit too much and does not meet Arnold's authority. However, in this situation, no one dares to violate Arnold's request. Otherwise, the judge would have a few shortcomings and no one could bear the responsibility. The head of the court bailiff was stunned for a moment, and finally accepted Arnold's request, signed the court bailiff execution order in court, and arranged for his subordinates to coordinate with the Kingsoft Police Department to give up the power to pursue the fugitive Conley Ballmer.
Arnold then said to Luo Lie: "Now, can you agree to my request?"
Luo Lie smiled with satisfaction, but shook his head and said, "Director Arnold, in Kingsoft, the position of the judge is higher than that of you. Only by pressing the gun on the judge's head can my request be fully met. I know very well, so you give up your thoughts. When Conley sends a safety signal, I will definitely let the judge's."
Arnold snorted and said, "I don't understand. Conley has left, so how can he send a signal to you? Could it be that you still have accomplices?"
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "I said that this is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with others. As for how Conley sends a safety signal to me, it is very simple. When you see a thick smoke rising from afar through this window, it means that Conley is already safe."
Arnold shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then let's wait and see!"
In the United States of America, judges have a prominent position, and holding a judge in court is the first time. Due to concerns about the safety of the judges and concerns about their responsibility, everyone in the court remained silent, and naturally had no objection to Arnold's suggestions.
Fifteen minutes later, a stream of black smoke rose from the distance outside the window.
Luo Lie released his arm held on the judge's neck and whispered: "Your Majesty, thank you, but I'm going to break my promise." Just when the judge was stunned, Luo Lie moved the muzzle away from the judge's head and pressed against his temple: "I can't be sent to the gallows by you, no one can execute me!"
Cao Bin suddenly opened his eyes, and two flickering eyes shot towards Luo Lie, shouting: "Do you have nothing to say to me?"
Luo Lie smiled satisfied and replied, "Brother Bin, you have been acquitted, and Brother Biao no longer needs to hide. An Liangtang's innocence is hard to come by. I cannot be stained by my own behavior. I don't want to be hanged on the gallows. That's too painful. Brother Bin, just let me leave quickly."
Cao Bin scolded: "Do you think Brother Bin doesn't know your true thoughts? Why can't you do what Brother Bin can do? Luo Lie, do you know what the nature of doing this? It's a coward!"
Luo Lie smiled miserably and said, "Everyone is dead, why bother to care about other people's opinions? I'm just asking for pleasure, this has nothing to do with cowardice and courage."
The judge was released but did not leave. At this time, he turned around and looked at Luo Lie, and said sincerely: "If you do something wrong, you must be brave enough to take responsibility. No matter what reason you have, shooting yourself is evading responsibility. Only cowards will do that."
Cao Bin said, "An Liangtang has never had a brother who escapes reality and dares not take responsibility. Luo Lie, are you going to be the first person?"
When Luo Lie raised his gun and pressed his forehead, Alice's figure couldn't help but appear in his mind. In Luo Lie's heart, another voice of his own was calling. Alice, I'm here, we will never be separated in this life.
However, Alice did not respond.
Until Cao Bin's questioning sounded, Alice slowly turned around in her mind, but her face was cold Ruobingshuang: "Nuoli, you promised me that you must live well. You cannot break your promise or deceive me, otherwise I will never pay attention to you."
Another voice of his own in his heart responded: "Alice, I am not breaking my promise, I just don't want to be hanged."
Alice replied coldly: "You are lying! Brother Bin is right, you are just a coward!"
The voice in his heart argued: "I'm not, Alice, listen to my explanation..."
However, Alice in her mind left angrily, leaving only a vague back and a voice echoing in her ears: "Brother Bin chose to trust you. If you are not a coward, you should choose to trust Brother Bin."
Luo Lie sighed, slowly lowered the muzzle, and handed the pistol back to the judge in front of him.
The candidate team of the Elephant Party has performed quite well in handling the crisis, basically protecting the candidates from being criticized by racial discrimination. However, due to the involvement of this case, their approval rating still declined significantly. Eighteen days later, the gubernatorial campaign in California was voting, and one day later, the election results were announced, and Adam Breson defeated his opponent with a greater advantage.
At this time, Luo Lie spent the 19th night in prison.
During the nineteen days, Cao Bin would visit Luo Lie every day. Every time he came, Clarence would accompany Cao Bin. This was Adam Breson's arrangement. Clarence would serve as Luo Lie's chief defense lawyer, and Cao Bin was Clarence's assistant. Cao Bin had a thick foundation. Although he was cruel to Eston, he could not bear it after all. After being released in court, Dr. Anthony conducted a detailed examination for Cao Bin and gave the most reasonable treatment plan. Therefore, every day, Cao Bin, who came to visit Luo Lie, was in a much better condition than the previous day.
On the afternoon of the 20th day, Cao Bin and Clarence arrived at the prison on time, and there was a guy in a wheelchair following behind him. Lu Yao, who was pushing the wheelchair, seemed very dissatisfied with the guy in the wheelchair. He raised his hand several times to teach the guy a lesson, but he still couldn't do it.
Luo Lie looked very good, especially when he saw the guy sitting in a wheelchair, he showed a bright smile on his face. "Brother Biao, don't you stay in the hall to recover from your injuries, why are you here to come?"
Lu Yao also complained and continued, "That's it! Brother Bin came here to talk about the serious business and negotiate the trial defense. Why did you say you, a cripple, come to join in the fun?"
Dong Biao grinned and said, "I heard that Master Luo is going to go to the gallows. Can we, the brother, come and take a look? Take a look less, right? Master Luo?"
Lu Yao finally couldn't help it and slapped Dong Biao in the back of the head from behind: "It makes you smelly! It's a slap in your head, just match it with a lame one."
Cao Bin smiled and said to Luo Lie: "The dead lame man drank the wine you brought him, and cried like something. I have been brothers with him for more than 20 years, and I have never seen him cry like that bear."
Dong Biao said with a shameless face: "Brother Bin, you are not conscience. When did you pretend to be dead, didn't I cry too?"
Cao Bin curled his lips and smiled: "Thunder but not raining, can it be compared with your rain but not thunder this time?"
Dong Biao argued: "Isn't that because the wine is delicious? Next time you pretend to be dead and put a bottle of good wine next to you. I'll give you a cry that only rains and doesn't thunder. Is that okay?"
Lu Yao slapped Dong Biao again and said, "Can you rest for a while? There is not much time, let Brother Bin talk about the important matter first."
Cao Bin did not speak, but looked at Clarence beside him.
Clarence could understand a few simple Chinese words, but he could only listen and think about this kind of joke. However, he could guess from the expressions of those people alone, but it was just a joke between brothers. But when Cao Bin turned his eyes to him and the others suddenly became quiet, Clarence realized that it was time for him to discuss the case with Luo Lie.
"The law is formulated to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, so the court's punishment will definitely take into account public opinion. Now, the joint signature pleads for you have reached a climax. There are thousands of new people every day, and the total number of signatures exceeds 50,000, which does not include the bloody handprints of the Chinese community." Clarence seemed very confident. The previous case had already brought his lawyer's career to the top. If he could fight for Luo Lie to exempt the hanging from the punishment, he would definitely leave a glorious chapter in the lawyer's community. "In addition, there is also a great news to tell you that the judge you held hostage has also participated in the support activities for you. Just this morning, he went to the scene in person and signed his name."
This is definitely good news. This shows that Luo Lie has already obtained the forgiveness of the parties, and the parties' attitude in the trial will be crucial. If he can appear in court to plead, he will definitely impress the judge who tried the case. If there is basically no objection to the crime ruling, he will make some forgiveness in the application of the law.
Because of this, Clarence made the judgment that Luo Lie would not be sent to the gallows. It was precisely because of this that Dong Biao clamored to see Luo Lie and joked with Luo Lie unscrupulously.
However, when Luo Lie heard such good news, there was no look of surprise on his face, and the smile he had just now. "Thank you, Clarence, I have worked hard for you for my business."
Cao Bin saw that Luo Lie was not in high spirits and quickly comforted him: "This is just our first step. Survive first and stay with the green mountains, so that we will not be afraid of no firewood. Mr. Breson also promised that he will do everything possible to help you. Lawyer Clarence will also seek assistance and follow your case indefinitely. We will look for all opportunities to get a commutation for you."
Luo Lie smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter. Brother Bin, I can accept it whether it's on the gallows or sitting in the bottom of the prison. The only thing I hope is to attend the wedding ceremony between you and Brother Biao."
Cao Bin immediately burst into tears.
Dong Biao rubbed his eyes a few times and shouted, "You guy don't play like this. I've agreed that everyone will laugh together, you can't just yourself..." Dong Biao was still smiling when he spoke, but as he spoke, his throat was blocked, his voice was choked, and two lines of tears flowed down unyieldingly.
For Cao Bin and Dong Biao, Luo Lie is more than 20 years younger than them. They are not only brothers but also have a father-son relationship. How can a father really laugh when he sees his son suffering from prison for himself?
Cao Bin nodded in tears and responded: "I will definitely fulfill your wish! At worst, Abiao and I will hold our wedding in this prison."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Brother Biao, you have to pay attention. You can only marry one. Otherwise, if you can't get into the bridal chamber, you may be in prison for committing bigamy."
Dong Biao wiped away his tears, returned to his inappropriate appearance, and joked: "Then you should remind me? Brother Biao has already planned to marry and marry. Your three sisters-in-law take turns to take turns, one person will suffer a year, and no one will suffer a loss."
Luo Lie jokingly said, "I didn't see that Brother Biao is really smart. No wonder my three sisters-in-law can be so devoted to you."
Dong Biao laughed and said, "That's not because Brother Biao is smart, it's because your brother Biao's middle leg is not injured."
The meeting time is limited, and in a blink of an eye, fifteen minutes passed.
The prison guard had already come and urged him for the second time, so Cao Bin had to get up and prepare to leave.
"Pick up, Luo Lie, Brother Bin will definitely try his best to save you." This sentence is not the first time Cao Bin said. The implication is that if he can't save Luo Lie by taking a normal way, then he will choose an extreme method.
Luo Lie just smiled faintly and followed the prison guard back to the cell.
Five days later, the court opened a trial of Luo Lie's contempt of the court's hostage.
The sensational effect of this case is obviously not as good as the previous case, but it has received no less attention than the former. There are many citizens who support sympathize with Luo Lie. There are as many as 60,000 joint signatures displayed outside the court alone. The Chinese workers in Kingsoft were mobilized by all, conveying their voices to the court in the form of bloody handprints. They are willing to use their lives to guarantee that Luo Lie is not a bad person, so he will definitely not make such impulsive moves again.
In the court, the seats were full, and outside the court, thousands of people gathered.
However, the trial process of this case was extremely simple. The accused party simply stated the case and did not submit any physical witnesses. The defense did not question the accused party's statement. It only gave a pleading explanation to the judge and the jury on the background and reasons of the case. The judge who was held hostage did not appear in court, but he submitted a personal pleading letter to the court.
Just as the judge knocked on the gavel and was about to announce the adjournment waiting for the jury's verdict, the door to the court was suddenly opened.
Father Simon appeared in everyone's sight with two clergymen dressed in white Catholic bishop robes. The people in the court did not recognize Father Simon, but they were familiar with the other two, and the one standing next was the lead bishop of Kingsoft Theological Seminary, and the one in the middle was the bishop of the entire Kingsoft region.
In the United States of America, there are almost no unbeliever in the 80-year-olds to children who are three or four years old to be fed. Among the three major Christian schools, Catholicism has the most solid and profound foundation, and the three major schools are originally one. Therefore, all believers expressed great respect for the arrival of the two bishops, including the judges in court and all jury members.
"His judge, all the jurors, I have a few words to say in the case of Nuoli." The three clergymen came to the trial area. After signaling to the judge and the juror in court, the bishop of the diocese came to Luo Lie, sorted out his clothes for Luo Lie, and said, "I know you are a good child. Father Simon has told me all of them. However, as the Lord's child, if you do something wrong, you must accept the Lord's punishment. No matter what reason you have, do you understand?"
Luo Lie nodded calmly.
The bishop of the diocese turned to the judge and the juror: "Although this child did something wrong, he did not intend to contempt the court, nor did he want to hurt the judge. He just held his promise in desperation. The punishment of the law should not be imposed on a good child. Leave him to me, and let the Lord punish him and influence him."
The law is sacred and cannot be violated.
And the Lord is more sacred and even more inviolable.
The bishop of the diocese extended a helping hand to Luo Lie in the name of the Lord. Even if Luo Lie made a huge mistake, the court would still open the door.
The court finally convicted Luo Lie of the crime, but he had to go to the seminary to receive punishment from the Lord, and he could recover his freedom ten years later.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations.
In the defense seat, Cao Bin was in a trance. He didn't wake up until Luo Lie came to hug him. In the auditor's seat, Dong Biao wanted to rush over and pick up Simon and throw it high into the air. Unfortunately, his legs did not allow him to move freely. He could only clench his fists and shout in his heart. Beside Dong Biao, Helen covered his mouth tightly with his left hand, and held Xiao Gu Ting with his right hand, letting two lines of hot tears burst out and fell on Xiao Gu Ting's bald head. Little Gu Ting leaned on Helen's legs, bit his fists tightly, and his shoulders kept twitching.
"From today on, I believe in the Lord. I want to be the most devout believer!" Dong Biao turned sideways, wiped the corner of his eyes, and punched Lu Yao on the other side as his chest.
Lu Yao was punched, but he seemed to have not felt it. He looked at the trial area stupidly and sighed: "I, Lao Lu, believe it too, I, Lao Lu, also want to be a devout believer."
However, the vows of these two people only lasted less than eight hours.
During dinner, Cao Bin invited Father Simon to the hall. Dong Biao took out the wine that Luo Lie brought to him that he had only drank one glass and was reluctant to drink anymore. Lu Yao went out to the street to buy vegetables and cooked a large table of good dishes that Father Simon had never seen or eaten before.
"Father Simon, there is a Chinese proverb that you will not express your gratitude. If you can save Luo Lie from prison, it is the greatest kindness to me, Anliangtang." Cao Bin invited Father Simon to the master's seat, filled the wine for Father Simon himself, held up his hands, and greeted him in front of Father Simon: "I, Cao Bin, to you this glass of wine! From now on, all the brothers in Anliangtang in Jinshan are willing to work hard for you!"
A glass of wine is nothing. Even though this wine is a fine wine brought back by Luo Lie for more than 40 years. However, Cao Bin toasted like this was a great respect for the other party. Before that, only Ou Zhiming, the head of the chief lord, had enjoyed it once. As for Dong Biao and Lu Yao, who was accompanying him, he knew Cao Bin for more than 20 years, but he didn't even catch a toast with one hand.
Father Simon was about to become a Chinese master. He learned a lot of Chinese dialect with Zhao Daming and others and understood many Chinese etiquettes. But when Cao Bin toasted with both hands, he immediately stood up, took it with both hands, and replied in Chinese dialect: "Luo Lie is my son-in-law, I must help him."
After Cao Bin, Dong Biao was Dong Biao. Although Dong Biao's leg injury had not yet been cured, he insisted on getting up. After standing up with the help of Lu Yao, he filled the wine glass for Father Simon like Cao Bin, then raised his hands and greeted Father Simon: "Father Simon, I will not say anything. From today on, I, Dong Biao, believe in the Lord and vowed to be the most devout believer."
Father Simon took the wine, but did not drink it, but asked in surprise: "Why?"
Dong Biao said seriously: "You Father Simon has no money and Celena doesn't have much savings, so the Bishop must not agree to your begging for the sake of money, right?"
Father Simon nodded and said, "The Bishop is very rich, and money cannot impress him."
Dong Biao smiled and said, "This shows that the Bishop is a good person full of righteousness and sympathy. With this, I am willing to follow him as a devout believer."
Father Simon curled his lips, snorted softly, drank the drink from the glass and sat down.
Next, Lu Yao's toast was about the same wording as Dong Biao.
Father Simon even showed a look of disdain.
Dong Biao couldn't help asking, "Father Simon, you seem to have a lot of objections to me and Lao Lu, right?"
Father Simon was still a little troubled to speak Chinese, so he simply changed it back to English and directly retorted: "Jack, I did my best to save Noli, but you attributed the credit to the bishop's sense of justice and sympathy. Can I have no objection? I admit that the bishop is a person with a sense of justice and sympathy. But if I can't take out the notes of the Pope's reading of the Bible, how could he interfere in the court? Jack, do you know what the Pope's reading notes mean in the church?"
The Pope's status in the church is equivalent to that of the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty. If the chamber pots she used were spread, they would be worshipped by the ministers of the current dynasty as divine objects, not to mention that it was a reading note, and it was a notes taken when reading the Bible.
Dong Biao said curiously: "Father Simon, you won't lie to me, are you a little priest, how can you get that rare thing?"
Father Simon said proudly: "When I was young, well, I was only about twelve years old. My uncle took me to the Cathedral of the Savior in Rome. I was playful and everyone else was worshipping, but I didn't know where to play. Later, my stomach hurts and I looked for toilet paper everywhere, so I found this note. At that time, I thought the words on it were very beautiful, so I didn't want to use them and kept it like this. Unexpectedly, when I became a priest, I realized that the notes I had stolen and treasured were actually from the Pope."
Cao Bin was quite moved and said, "Father Simon, I know what that note represents to the clergy. For Luo Lie, you are willing to give up such precious items. I, Cao Bin, have no choice but to repay you... Let's do this, Father Simon, in the downtown area of Jinshan, you choose any house and I will give it to you."
Simon waved his hand and said, "I am just a fake priest. I don't want to go up in the church. That note is worthy of appreciation for me. Given to the Bishop, it can make it play a greater role. As for my help, it is my own choice. I am already very happy to be able to drink your wine and eat such delicious dishes. Besides, Celena's workplace is in Chinatown. If she changes to the city, she will be very hard." As she said that, Father Simon smiled mysteriously and whispered in Cao Bin's ear.
Cao Bin's eyes suddenly lit up and said in surprise: "Really?"
Father Simon made a dissatisfaction and said, "Finish it, you Tom is still Celena's boss, why don't you even have your own employees?"
Cao Bin immediately raised his wine glass and congratulated: "Congratulations, Father Simon, I hope Celena can give birth to another cute Alice!"
Father Simon then picked up the wine glass, but muttered, "But when the new Alice grows up, Noli gets old."
Dong Biao and Lu Yao also reacted and congratulated Father Simon one after another.
When a bottle of wine was about to finish, Dong Biao thought of Luo Lie and asked, "Father Simon, isn't Nuoli in the seminary?"
Father Simon drank a beautiful glass of wine and wiped his mouth, "He, he has just settled in the seminary. Why do you ask me to say he is good or bad? But, Noli told me in person that he can stay in the seminary, at least he will not be troubled by insomnia."
Dong Biao smiled and said, "That's true!"
Cao Bin said, "With Father Simon's care, what else do you have to worry about? It must be that you eat well and sleep well, right? Father Simon?"
Father Simon said proudly: "Is that need to be said? Except for the four hours of labor every day, there is no difference between him and other students in other aspects."
Dong Biao asked again: "Can he come out? What I mean is that when there are special circumstances, can he come out for an hour or two?"
Father Simon took a breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know what to do. The decision is to lead the bishop in the seminary. In addition, it depends on what special circumstances."
Dong Biao said inappropriately: "For example, I am dead and want him to come back and cry a few times."
Cao Bin knocked Dong Biao with chopsticks and said, "Father Simon, don't listen to his nonsense. Jack meant that he could bring Nuoli back to attend the wedding I held with him?"
Father Simon said in surprise: "Tom, have you found the one you love?"
Cao Bin nodded solemnly with happiness.
Father Simon said: "Don't worry, Tom, I will do my best to convince the seminary to lead the bishop."
Cao Bin nodded and said, "You can tell the bishop of the Seminary that I am willing to invest $10,000 to build a new dormitory building for the Seminary."
Father Simon said: "If you can still send an invitation to the bishop of the seminary, I think the possibility of success will be greater."
Cao Bin said: "As long as you can convince him, I will agree to the conditions and the price."
After drinking and eating, Father Simon was sent away. Cao Bin was about to drink tea and chat with the two old brothers Dong Biao and Lu Yao, but he heard the brothers in the hall report that the distinguished guest was here, and the distinguished guest was named Xu and Gonglin.
Cao Bin hurriedly went out to greet him.
Under Cao Bin's guidance, Xu Gonglin entered the door and saw Dong Biao. He was shocked and asked, "A Biao, did you fall your leg...?"
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "If I could break my leg, wouldn't you be able to bite off your ear?"
Xu Gonglin knew Dong Biao's personality and did not bother with him. Instead, he asked Cao Bin: "What happened?"
Cao Bin briefly told Xu Gonglin about these recent events.
When talking about the jade seal being burned by the fire, Xu Gonglin exclaimed repeatedly: "No wonder, no wonder!"
After exclaiming, Xu Gonglin sighed and continued: "Since the beginning of autumn, Guangxu and the Empress Dowager's body bones gradually improved, but suddenly one day, these two people died suddenly within two days. It seems that it should be the effect of that jade seal!"
Luo Lie, who came to the seminary, was indeed free from the trouble of insomnia. Although he ate averagely, especially without Chinese food, his mouth was even more greedy, but he could sleep every night and he was very stable. Therefore, Luo Lie's spirit was getting better every day. He developed the habit of getting up and exercising at dawn. In addition, four hours of labor every day made Luo Lie's body better every day.
On the tenth day of Luo Lie being placed under house arrest in the seminary, it happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year. On that morning, Luo Lie returned from training and was about to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast when he saw Father Simon accompanying the bishop of the seminary to walk towards him. Luo Lie stood by the roadside and greeted him in a regular manner: "Sir, the Bishop, the priest, the early priest."
The bishop smiled and patted Luo Lie on the shoulder and said, "Nuoli, you have performed well recently. I'll take you a day off. Let's go back with Simon. After all, today is the most important day of the year for you Chinese. Remember, you must return on time at 8 o'clock in the evening." After saying that, the bishop left happily with his hands behind his back, leaving Luo Lie with a look of surprise and Simon with contempt.
"How could the bishop be so kind to me today that I would give me a day off?" Luo Lie Shang was a little surprised and suspicious.
Father Simon responded angrily: "How can Tom not be merciful when he spent 20,000 dollars to build a house for the seminary and put the other half into his own pocket?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "So, the bishop of the diocese rescued me from prison, and it was because you spent money?"
Father Simon shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's not, but it's something more precious than money. Fortunately, I have kept the Pope's notes for more than thirty years. Otherwise, I really don't know if I can convince the old slut of the bishop of the diocese."
Luo Lie had long thought that Father Simon could not be able to invite the bishop of the diocese with just a mouth, so he was not surprised by Father Simon's words. "You are a fake priest, so there is nothing worth cherishing for you. Isn't it cost to take it out and rescue me?"
Father Simon curled his lips and said, "What do you know? Tell you, the Pope's word is so beautiful... Well, but you're even more right. It's worth the price to save you from prison."
Luo Lie seemed to remember something and said anxiously: "What are we talking about here? Two thousand yuan a day off, and a minute is dozens of dollars. Why don't we set off quickly?"
Father Simon looked at the time and said, "It's still early, do you want to change your clothes? I made an appointment with Tom. At half past seven, he drove to the gate of the seminary. It's only less than seven o'clock now, and you still have twenty minutes to go back to the dormitory to prepare. By the way, I forgot to tell you that today is the happy day for Tom and Jack!"
Luo Lie thought about it, but did not go to the dormitory. Instead, he dragged Father Simon towards the gate of the seminary and said as he walked: "I bet that Brother Bin must have been waiting at the door."
As Luo Lie expected, Cao Bin had already been waiting at the gate of the seminary in his car, but Cao Bin was not alone. Helen and Xiao Gu Ting were still sitting in the car.
As soon as Luo Lie's figure appeared, the little Gu Ting jumped out of the car and rushed towards Luo Lie, plunged into Luo Lie's arms, and without saying a word, he started crying loudly.
"Why are you crying? Don't you want to see Brother Luo Lie, do you?" Luo Lie smiled and touched Xiao Gu Ting's little bald head and joked.
Xiao Gu Ting stopped and looked up at Luo Lie, saying, "Xiao Ting'er will cry like this only when she is very happy!"
Another car rushed over and honked the horn from a distance. After stopping, Dong Biao sat in the back seat and shouted, "Didn't you agree to set off together? Brother Bin, you are too careless!"
Cao Bin replied, "Who are you blaming? If you blaming you, you can only blam the poor driving skills and cannot keep up with the speed."
Lu Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "How many people can keep up with you? You don't even slow down when you turn around. Is it possible to ask me to follow you?"
After Dong Biao yelled Cao Bin, he shouted at Luo Lie again: "Boy, if you don't take a car with Brother Biao today, would you believe Brother Biao dare to die in front of you?"
Luo Lie held Xiao Gu Ting, but walked straight towards Cao Bin.
Cao Binle said: "A Biao, please keep your word?"
Dong Biao raised his fist, gestured at his injured leg, and then hugged the injured leg and started to shed.
Luo Lie bypassed Cao Bin's car and said hello: "Brother Bin, I'd better go over and take a ride, Brother Biao is cautious."
Cao Bin nodded.
But Helen shouted, "Wait a minute, Noli!"
Luo Lie stopped and waited for Helen to come over and hug him. "Nuoli, thank you for saving Tom."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Helen, you are the one who really saved Tom. If it weren't for you, Brother Bin would definitely fight with Cooper. Although Brother Anliang's cousin is not afraid of death, he is not the opponent of the regular army!"
On the other side, Dong Biao shouted again: "Boy, you really can't come? Then I really have to take the initiative!"
Dong Biao's injured leg could not bend, so he could only sit on the back seat. Therefore, Luo Lie could only send Xiao Gu Ting to Cao Bin's car and then walk towards Dong Biao.
Dong Biao couldn't help but crack his mouth.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, the kitchen had already made dumplings. Cao Bin and Dong Biao were both from the south. They did not eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but wanted to eat dumplings. But the two guys thought that Luo Lie was from the north, so according to the customs of the north, he packed vegetarian dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Helen was very surprised by this food and didn't understand how the stuffing in the dumplings was breaded. Luo Lie ate it happily while explaining Helen, but then he served the dumplings. Helen ate one curiously, and his expression that had just calmed down was once again surprised.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about dumplings and Luo Lie.
After breakfast, the brothers in the hall started to get busy. Today is not only the first day of the Lunar New Year, but also the day for Brother Bin Biao to wash their hands. At 10 o'clock in the latest, the leaders of all gangs and sects in the world will come to congratulate them.
Unexpectedly, before nine o'clock, George Gambino came to the door with four subordinates and grand gifts. He was far away and shouted at Cao Bin: "Tom, you are not a friend enough, which made me lose a lot of money!"
The story of George setting up a market quotation has already spread in the world. After being willful, he lost almost all the money he earned from taking over An Liangtang's casino business. However, this did not make George feel annoyed. On the contrary, he still made a lot of contributions to the lawsuit he won by Cao Bin.
The second one to visit was Clarence.
Since he arrived in Kingsoft, Clarence has not returned to Los Angeles. Adam Breson is about to take over the California state government. As Mr. Breson's core think tank, he cannot be too far away from Adam Breson. The state capital Sacramento City is not big enough to make such an excellent lawyer like him play a role. So Clarence chose to stay in Kingsoft and plans to open a law firm in Kingsoft.
Cao Bin is also a lawyer, and has received personal guidance from Ou Zhiming and is quite familiar with the laws of the United States of America. So Clarence had the idea of Cao Bin and repeatedly asked Cao Bin to be his partner to run the law firm together. Cao Bin was grateful to Clarence and was quite interested in the lawyer profession. Thinking about the transformation of An Liangtang, he could have free time, so he agreed to Clarence.
The third person to visit was Conte, the deputy director of the police station. Conte had a good relationship with An Liangtang and Cao Bin and Dong Biao. When Cao Bin was deeply trapped in Eston's claws, it was Conte's care for Cao Bin that made Cao B lucky to hold on. Now that old friend has turned over, Conte must come to congratulate him on a happy day.
Later, there are the top figures of various gangs and sects and many relevant departments in Kingsoft City, such as Nelson of the Customs Police Department, or Brody of the Real Estate Transaction Administration.
Just when the brothers at the hall felt that the guests were almost there and were about to invite Brother Bin to perform the golden basin hand washing ceremony, Adam Breson personally came to the hall of Anliangtang.
This is the most powerful figure in California. Cao Bin, Dong Biao and Luo Lie hurriedly met him.
Adam Breson and Cao Bin and Dong Biao only exchanged a few greetings, but they were extremely concerned about Luo Lie. He already knew that Luo Lie had escaped from prison by chance, but he had to practice in the seminary for ten years. "This result is very good. Nuoli, you are still young, and you are less than 30 years old in ten years. It is the time when you can achieve great success in your life. In these ten years, you should treat it as your tempering, read more books and master more skills. Ten years later, I will still hire you as my personal assistant."
Adam Breson's arrival brought this big party that was not a gangster party, and not all a wedding to a climax.
In the scene where there are many foreigners, Jin Basin's hand washing is simplified to the point of proclaiming, and the next is the wedding. With Helen's insistence, the wedding basically follows Chinese etiquette, but it is also quite simplified. At least, there is no such thing as a wedding chamber.
The wedding was underway, and another uninvited guest came. Luo Lilong rushed forward with the blessing of the chief executive, and finally rushed before the end of Cao Bin and Dong Biao's grand wedding. After Luo Lilong arrived, he immediately paused Cao Bin and Dong Biao's wedding, but the reason was irresistible. Gu Haoran and Zhao Daming also came. However, the car they were riding in had a fetus in Chinatown. Zhao Daming had to take care of Gu Haoran and walked slowly and needed to wait for a few minutes.
